Sorry but what are you talking about? It’s factually wrong, it has nothing to do with context, and the period makes zero difference to the meaning of the AI’s summary.
“En force” has nothing to do with the word enforce, and is a common English phrase. English borrows loads of phrases from other languages. “En bloc” is another example, as is “crème de la crème” (with or without the accents); all are French phrases which are used routinely in English and are now parts of the language. The same happens in the opposite direction - “le weekend” being an example in French; perhaps controversial example to French speakers but that is the nature of language.
Is it a common English phrase? I can’t find it in any English dictionary, and the wiktionary page has no listing for it under English, only in French. On the other hand the phrase “en masse” with a similar meaning shows up in dictionaries and the wiktionary page lists it under English.
Unless it’s quite a recent borrowing I’m thinking OP got the two mixed up, or is maybe from an area with enough French speakers that it seems common.
If you type in En force, you get the correct answer. If you type in En-force, it assumes you made an error and wanted to type enforce and not en force.
It has no context to go on, but it is silly that the normal google algo understands but Gemini doesn’t. I’m fairly certain it’s because the summary uses different links then what is actually given by the regular search algo (I think it rewrites your query as well).
I don’t like the summary above google, I’m not defending it but just explaining where the error stems from and what the user meant.
Edit: it’s a bot lol, yes the period makes no sense. I glossed over his reply and thought he was making the same point as a comment below.

You replied to an LLM, so of course it’s talking out of its ass. Probably someone trying to kill the Fediverse.
